Description
The Forest Research Institute of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Freiburg (FVA) is your contact for all questions about forests and forestry. Within the framework of research and development projects its purpose is to acquire target-oriented, practical and concrete policies as well as information for forest owners, foresters and the interested public. FAA is the operating research institute of the National Forest Administration and is assigned to the Ministry of Food and Rural Areas in Stuttgart.
